Getting Around

Buses, trains and transit cards.
Using public transitEach city runs its own system and fare card — Presto (GTA), Compass (Vancouver), OPUS (Montréal) — plus monthly passes and student fares.
Planning trips and paying by phoneReal-time apps make Canadian transit far more usable — and most systems now let you tap a phone or card instead of buying tickets.
Getting between Canadian citiesDistances are huge — Toronto to Vancouver is a 4.5-hour flight — so compare VIA Rail, intercity buses and budget airlines by route.
